BACKGROUND
The appellants' invention relates to a cushioning
conversion machine for converting sheet-like stock material
into cut sections of cushioning dunnage product including a
cutting assembly and an automatic alignment device. An
understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading
of exemplary claim 1, a substantially correct copy of which
appears in the appendix to the examiner's answer.2
The references of record relied upon by the examiner in
rejecting the appealed claims are:
Walker 2,882,802 Apr. 21,
1959
2The copy of claim 1 in the appendix to the answer contains three
errors with respect to the actual claim of record. In line 11, "coact" should
be "coacts" and, in line 16, "rectilinear" and "together" should immediately
precede and follow "motion," respectively.
